For Vice President
The LP nominee for Vice President is chosen by the convention after
the nomination for President has been made. In the past, nominees
for Vice President have often been individuals who specifically
sought that position, although the convention is free to select
one of the candidates who sought the presidential nomination, or
somebody else entirely.
